r/nanjing

Hi everyone, I am traveling with my school to Nanjing for two weeks and though I am super excited I have Celiac. We are staying in a hotel so I will be taking my own breakfast options and lots of snacks. I am pretty worried about lunch/dinner.

I have read through a few forums and some stated there are Mexican restaurants as well as some Indian restaurants. I'm just having trouble finding these places and specific recommendations.

I am an android user so I know I can't use Google maps and have downloaded amap.

If anyone has any recs, I would be so grateful!

Guys, i'm gonna go for a degree in nanjing. Any VPN reccomendation that is relatively stable in Nanjing??

Hey! I’m an undergrad student looking for Chinese friends to practice Mandarin with. I can help you improve your English, and we can chat or even hang out if we’re nearby!
Would love to make some genuine friends along the way. Feel free to DM me! 😊

Hello, we are traveling with my two kids and partner to Nanjing for a month. We are looking for an apartment to rent (rather that a hotel) as it's easier to handle small children. I will be studying in the the Nanjing university of Chinese medicine, something close would be ideal. Any recommendations? Thank you !

Hi everyone,

I’m in Shanghai now and moving to Nanjing soon and I’m looking to find a gym buddy from the international community.

I’m a female beginner getting into fitness, and I’d love to meet someone who already has some gym experience and enjoys working out regularly. I’m hoping to find a friendly workout partner who can help me get familiar with the gym, share some tips, and keep each other motivated.

I’m not looking for a personal trainer — just someone who enjoys fitness and would like to have a consistent gym partner.

A little about me:

• Female
• Global Talent Advisor& Digital Nomad
• New to Nanjing
• Interested in strength training, fitness, tennis, dance, Yoga, hiking, travelling and healthy lifestyle
• Open to meeting international friends in the city

Ideally, I’d love to connect with other expats living in Nanjing, but anyone who is respectful and serious about fitness is welcome.

If you’re looking for a gym buddy too, feel free to DM me. Maybe we can grab a coffee first and find a gym that works for both of us :)

Looking forward to meeting new people in Nanjing!

Anyone else attending Nanjing University this fall for language program? Would be interested to join any WeChat groups if anyone knows of any. I saw a post a few weeks ago but not sure if a group ever got made. We can also start one if no one knows of any.

I am going to be in Nanjing next month. Are there any recommendations on things to try there or places to visit ? Are there any famous snacks or must try food ?
Also i‘d like to know if as a foreigner would they accept cash or i need to find a way how to pay them with an app ?
Any tip would be appreciated!

Hello everyone! I'm an Italian mahjong enjoyer. I'm part of a group of nerds that usually plays board games, but in the last few months we started playing mahjong (MCR ruling). I'm going to be in china for 6 months, starting this September, as an exchange student at NJ Normal University. I'm not familiar with "realistic mahjong culture" in China (my references are WKW and Jia Zhangke movies lol), so I'd like to know if there are places to play and how welcoming they are to foreigners/HSK4 Chinese speaker/ mediocre but determined player. I'll stay at the Suiyan campus, but I understood that it's quite easy to get around in the city. Thanks for any info :)

I want to join wechat groups that hire internationals models with pharaonic features!!

Hello girlies living in Nanjing!
I will be studying in Nanjing; so before travelling I want suggestions from you regarding hair care routine!
As Nanjing’s weather is extremely humid; what products should I buy from there to protect them from extreme frizz?
My hair’s normal, not very dry not oily, also it’s neither super straight nor curly, my scalp doesn’t produce any noticeable oil. If I wash my hair daily it gets super frizzy, weak and start breaking, but it won’t be possible in the humid weather of Nanjing to even wait for a day or two.
So kindly suggest me the products and any other suggestions that can protect my hair even after washing it daily.
Something that a student can manage with the studies and not a very time taking routine!!!
Thank you ✨

Is it like shanghai ?
